[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 4071447, member: 58197"] As long as "build" does not carry the same connotations in 4E that it does in 3E, I don't object to it. 3E "builds" took a lot of the fun out of the game for me, because they required so much advance planning; you knew what abilities you were going to have long, long before you actually got those abilities. By the time you got there, it wasn't exciting any more. But if you wanted access to certain PrCs, or if you wanted to make certain character concepts viable (e.g., two-weapon specialist, high-level melee warrior), you had to build for it. If 4E "builds" are just a list of suggested feat and power picks, without a lot of prerequisite-fulfilling involved (which seems to be the case), that's cool. It's not really a "build," since you aren't building toward anything, but whatever. I just don't want to be plotting out at 5th level how I'm going to meet the prereqs for a PrC I won't enter till 10th. [/QUOTE]
